NLEX formally signed JR Quinahan, Raul Soyud and Michael Miranda to contract extensions on Wednesday.
Player agent Danny Espiritu posted separate photos of Quinahan and Soyud bumping fists with Road Warriors executive Ronald Dulatre after inking on the dotted line at the NLEX office in Balintawak.
Terms were not disclosed but NLEX management is thrilled to keep the three players in the fold.
Quinahan was the Road Warriors’ third leading scorer of the recent PBA Philippine Cup bubble with 13.8 points on 42-percent shooting while grabbing 6.6 rebounds and dishing out 3.0 assists in 11 games.
Soyud emerged as coach Yeng Guiao’s biggest revelation after posting 10.0 points on a 74-percent clip and 6.8 rebounds. His performance made the former University of the Philippines standout a candidate for the Most Improved Player award.

Putting her peace of mind and health first, resident Alison Lobron drove to the Riverside T Station this week to take a rapid COVID test.
The drive-through, appointment-only site, located in a nondescript trailer in the parking lot, is operated by CIC Health and offers self-administered tests for $80. Results are returned in about 24-36 hours.
“My family is very cautious,” said Lobron. After she and some relatives exhibited concerning symptoms, she was happy to learn she could take the test in her hometown.
“This was so easy to do,” she said.
It was even easier than when she had a COVID test over the summer that used a long nasal swab (nasopharyngeal swab, according to the Mayo Clinic) that takes fluid from the back of a person’s nose. With the self-administered PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test, people use a shorter swab to get a sample.
